Unsurprisingly, it was Nina's idea to do the video to support Gabby Douglas:
Also, there is a very nice interview with Nina in Fashion magazine (she's on the cover, too). Scans here: http://ninadobrevstuff.com/photos/di..._display_media

Much of the interview is about fashion, and stylists and her upcoming movies, but she also mentions that she optioned a book and is writing a screenplay (Ian is writing a screenplay, too, so that is interesting).
And this quote made Nianologists squee:
That's pretty much as open as she has been in an interview about their relationship.
Someone on Ian's fanboard had this to say about the bit in the article about how she's been busy decorating a new home in ATL:
People were speculating that she and Ian had gotten another new place together, but that doesn't look to be the case. So she owns the place where they live in ATL, and he owns the place where they live in LA. That does make sense.
I've typed over 8k words in two and a half days! I can barely put a sentence together anymore. The epilogue for the Klaroline fic is done, but I'm going to wait a day to post it just in case I think of something else to add to it. Hate ending things, but I love ending things.
Hand hurts. Ouch.

Olympics: Nina Dobrev is as obsessed with gymnastics and Gabby Douglas as you are (maybe more)

After hearing that 16-year-old U.S. gymnast Gabby Douglas is a huge fan of their show, the cast of The Vampire Diaries made her a video congratulating her on her team and individual all-around golds and wishing her and her teammate, Aly Raisman, good luck in today’s event finals. Watch it below. (No spoilers in the comments, please!)
Nina Dobrev, a former artistic and rhythmic gymnast, was behind the group effort. “Forget sleep. It’s all about the Olympics right now. I’m obsessed. Like, it’s actually a problem. They’re starting to tell me I’m looking tired on set, and it’s because I’m up until, like, two in the morning watching the Olympics and going to work at 5 a.m.,” Dobrev told EW earlier today. “I used to be a gymnast, and I competed internationally, so it’s my favorite time. I even bought a 3D TV so that I could watch them in 3D. When I found out that Gabby liked the show, I was incredibly excited and really happy to make the video. And now we follow each other on Twitter, so we’ve been direct messaging. The 16-year-old in me wishes that I was up there with them. So I’m just so happy for her success. And she’s so cute. She has the most amazing smile.”
While Dobrev awaits the start of the rhythmic gymnastics competition on Thursday (she did it all, but always thought the ribbon was the prettiest), we had to ask about her show of flexibility on Conan in May — when she uses Conan O’Brien as a wall for a yoga move. Amazing, she doesn’t have the screengrab pictured here enlarged and framed in her home.
“Now that you mention that, that’s not a bad idea. It was a cool moment for me and a lot of fun. It was a ballsy moment. I can’t believe I did it,” she says, laughing. “If something had gone wrong I would have been incredibly embarrassed and the headlines the next day would have been much different… Oh s—, I just realized what I said. Pun was not intended.” Yes, let’s talk about her foot placement. “I wasn’t actually touching anything, it just looked like that on TV,” she insists. “With the scorpion move, usually it’s a wall, and you actually bend even more and your toes touch your head, but obviously that wouldn’t have been possible.”

And this quote made Nianologists squee:
Another comfort is having her longtime boyfriend, 33-year-old actor Ian Somerhalder—who plays a diabolical vampire on Diaries—nearby for on-set chats. Part of his allure, Dobrev says, is their 10-year age difference. “Women mature a lot faster than men do so I’ve always had trouble relating—or not relating,” she says. “I like to be challenged. I like to be inspired and constantly be learning. I feel like when I’m with someone who’s older than me they have a certain amount of experience in life. There’s a maturity. There’s a different sort of knowledge that they bring to a relationship and the conversations are very different.”
Fans have speculated the couple may be headed down the aisle but Dobrev is quick to quell the rumours. “Eventually I am going to marry and have a family but not anytime soon. I’m not going to pull a Miley [Cyrus]. In this day and age, people are getting married later and having kids later, and I’m not going to be an exception to that. It’s extremely important to have the time and energy to do things like have kids or give your love and attention to another human being properly.”

Someone on Ian's fanboard had this to say about the bit in the article about how she's been busy decorating a new home in ATL:
No, Ian is at Nina's in Atlanta and Nina is at Ian's newer place when they are in Venice, California. As busy as Nina has been since moving into her Atlanta loft, she really hasn't had a lot of time to decorate . Nina moved into her new place in January 2011, which meant she still had long hours of filming TVD. Spring and summer 2011 was Coachella, Ian & Nina's trip to Mexico, Ian & Nina's trip to NYC and the Tribeca Film Festival, the White House Correspondence Dinner, the Paris trip with their mothers and of course the filming of Perks of Being A Wallflower, which lasted right up to the time she had to report back to TVD to start filming again. Spring & Summer 2012 = Ian & Nina went to Hawaii as soon as TVD filming was over, then Coachella, and then to Venice, which is where Nina was most of the summer with a trip or two with Ian (Barcelona and then meeting up in Paris) and then she spent a week in Bulgaria. Her schedule really hasn't given her a lot of time to decorate so it makes sense it is still new to her. The furniture is in place, but the finishing touches still need to done.
